Numerical simulation of wave effects on a combined breakwater and platform configuration Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • A new 3-D potential flow numerical method has been developed to study nonlinear wave diffraction around complex geometries. This new method is based on a multi-block finite-analytic scheme. A chimera domain decomposition technique is used to model complex geometry and to connect overlapped grids by interpolating information across block boundaries. Three numerical examples, including waves around a combined breakwater and large floating platform, are presented in this paper to illustrate the effectiveness of this new method.
